I find it interesting how the short movies such as GotNF, Book of Dragon, Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon and Dawn of the Dragon Racers all perfectly adjust in with the cartoon series and keep the characterizations accordingly intact as if they are part of this ongoing continuity but the main movies later on don't do the same. I mean, the 2nd one does but not THW. It doesn't line up with anything that happened in the series, not the events, not the themes or characters or character developments or characters' experience etc. With the second movie, not including those side characters didn't make much of a difference because whatever was going on and the plot and action and storyline didn't go towards that, it wasn't necessary and the movie was great either way. It didn't even ruin the characterizations of side characters that much even with what they were doing.

But THW just... (What was the word? Can't remember) removed everything that happened in rob/dob and RTTE and it didn't make sense with the storyline. Like, what happened to the rest of the vast archipelago? The edge? The VARIOUS habitats of VARIOUS species, so many allies, so many islands, so many characters, so many gained experiences after dealing with villains far more dangerous and smarter than whoever that guy was I don't even remember the name of, what happened to that all of a sudden? It just makes zero sense and the plot was all over the place. No offense to THW fans but, there were just a few good things in the movie but a lot more nonsensical events and solutions which were absolutely ridiculous what with already established canon throughout the rest of the franchise

#like. i get the whole Learning to let go theme. but they did way better with Tuffnut and his favorite mace in a cartoon series than in thw #and turning Toothless into a mindless pet dog. wheni put this Toothless and literally every single other Toothless side by side #it's not the same character. it felt like a random friendly dob was placed inside Toothless' body bcoz ge was the most OOC ever #even worse than badly written fanfics #the one character THW got just Right aside from Hiccup and Astrid was maybe Tuffnut #felt like the characters were done ny someone who saw only httyd 1 and 2 and sae them as 'a dog is a man's friend' movie and #not the horsegirl movie #which means to say. characterizing and displays dragons as Pets who like to play with their humans and are friendly to them #and not like a horse who is not a pet but a loyal companion who doesn't just play and follow orders but is powerfula dn determined #and loyals and stays by it's owners side through thick and thin. through war. and never forgets #sorry abt the ramble. I've just been thinking about the discrepancies between the movies and the rest of the franchise #httyd #httyd thw #httyd rob #httyd dob #httyd rtte #dreamworks dragons #legend of the boneknapper dragon #book of dragons #gotnf #dawn of the dragon racers #riders of berk #defenders of berk #race to the edge #light fury does not even compare to a small percentage of what Toothless and Hiccup have. what they've been through #the one thought that was constant in my head while watching thw was seeing Toothless and going 'He would NOT fucking do that'#felt like they destroyed my one most favorite character for money tbh #httyd toothless #thw salt
